Patient's question:
About two months ago, there was a small crack in the foreskin after sexual activity, with some white discharge. What medicine should I take?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it is likely that you may have a fungal infection of the genital area. It is best not to overuse medication. You should send a sample of your glans secretion for testing to confirm the diagnosis before actively following medical advice for treatment. In daily life, pay attention to preventing fungal infections, such as:1. Not leaving long nails;
2. Washing underwear and socks separately, especially if family members have conditions like athlete's foot or onychomycosis;
3. Not overusing antibiotics;
4. Ensuring clothes are dried in the sun or in a well-ventilated area after washing;
5. Avoiding indirect infection in public places;
6. Using proper contraception, such as condoms;
7. Wearing cotton underwear that is loose and breathable;
8. If one partner has a fungal infection, the other should also be tested and treated to prevent cross-infection;
9. If the male has phimosis, it is best to have circumcision early to reduce infection factors, and so on. Wishing you good health!
